PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Darrell Abbott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tien Shinhan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Abbott might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drag the waters - Pantera. Shinhan has chosen Rise Against - Give It All as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
